REPORT OF INSPECTOR CRADOCK.
CENTRAL POLICE STATION, 5th July, 1880.
SIR,-I have the honour to report I am of opinion that the present system works well, but now that the Force is increased by fifty Indians, I consider that the day duties ought to be increased, more especially that from 6 to 10 P.M.
I am, &c.,
J. CRADOCK, Inspector of Police.
NOTE BY THE ACTING CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE.
The Charles May was intended for this duty (see C.S.O. No.2545 of 1877), but at present there is no necessity to have her permanently manned with a large crew, which would diminish the strength of the Harbour Police. Without disturbing the regular duties, I can arrange to send three or four times a week to some of the outlying villages at uncertain hours of the day and night. She is now out under the command of Acting Chief Inspector GREY.
10th July, 1880.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR RIVERS.
No. 2, POLICE STATION, 5th July, 1880.
SIR. In accordance with your Memo. of the 30th ultimo, I beg to state that I still adhere to my former opinions, expressed in my reports of the 28th of June and 18th October, 1879.
After 12 months' experience of the working of the Police duties on the two-thirds system, I still say that during the time the system has been in force, there has been almost an entire absence of burglaries and larcenies from dwelling houses in the night time, on this district.
I would suggest that the day duty, from 6 to 10 P.M., on this district, should be strengthened by, at the least, 2 men, that being the time that the Soldiers and Sailors are rather troublesome.
I have, &c.,
W. RIVERS, Inspector in charge East District.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR LINDSAY.
CENTRAL POLICE STATION, 5th July, 1880.
SIR,---In accordance with your order of the 1st instant, I have the honour to report that as crime greatly decreased during the past twelve months, I am of opinion that the present system is the best mode of regulating the night duties. I cannot suggest any change further than that contained in last paragraph of my report of 27th June 1879, as it appears to me that the Police is now well able to cope with the criminal class in this Colony.
I have, &c.,
J. LINDSAY, Inspector.
To C. V. CREAGH, Esq.,
Acting Captain Superintendent of Police.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR THOMSON.
No. 7. POLICE STATION. 5th July, 1880.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR BREMNER.
CENTRAL POLICE STATION, 5th July, 1880.
SIR,-In accordance with your Memo. of the 1st instant. I beg most respectfully to state that I can only refer you to what I stated in my report of the 27th June, 1879, and add that little or no crime has been reported in this district as having been committed between the hours of 10 P.M. and 6 A.M. since the present system came in force.
I am still of the opinion that there are insufficient men on day duty, especially from 6 to 10 P.M. I find from reference to the Occurrence Book, that nearly all larcenies from the person (reported) were committed between 6 and 10 P.M.
I would also bring to your notice that there is no Sergeant of any nationality doing patrol during the day time; this gives the men a chance to neglect their duty.
I am,
&c.,
D. BREMNER, Inspector of Police.
For the information of His Excellency the Governor. I beg to forward the following report in reference to Police duties in the Central District,
1st. The seventy-two Indian and Chinese Constables, with the addition of the European Constables, who are on duty between 10 P.M. and 6 A.M., are, I think, quite sufficient for the district, and seem to work well.
2nd. The only alteration on the present system which I beg to offer an opinion on is, that the duties between 6 and 10 P.M., might be strengthened.
3rd. I think that the number of men on duty from 6 A.M. to 6 P.M. are quite sufficient for the district during the day time.

Acting Capt. Supt. of Police.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR MATHIESON.
POLICE HULK,
5th July, 1880.
SIR, I have the honour to forward to you the following report-vide Memo. 5th instant.
1. I can only repeat the words of my former report, dated the 18th October, 1879, with reference to the working of the Force on the two-thirds system. I know of no other system that would put the Police Force on so sound a basis.
2. Since my last report, the Water Police have been supplied with two small Steam Launches, and they are used almost entirely for patrol duty in the Harbour, from 9 P.M. to 5 A.M., and these little boats appear to be a terror to the marine thieves in the dead of night.
I have, &c.,
J. MATHIESON, Inspector.
To the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police.
EXTRACT FROM REPORT BY Mr. HORSFOOL, THE ACTING DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE.
With reference to the continued working of the 3rds night duty system, I have the honour to report that since its introduction serious night crimes have very materially decreased and are gradually decreasing.
I have, &c.,
To C. V. CREAGH, Esq.,
Acting Capt. Supt. of Police.
